Purim Costume - Settler

I was quite amused to see that there is a new Purim costume being offered - "Noar Hagevahot" (נוער הגבעות). Basically a costume of a specific subset of the settler movement - the young and most extreme members, who have no authority and normally work the land with their own hands.

The costume seemed to be just a big Kippah - what would once have been called a Bratslav kippah (or a Na-nach-nachman kippah).

What this shows is that No'ar Hagevahot have managed to enter the Israeli mainstream consciousness.
